Autopsy Reveals Dr Job Obwaka Died of Cardiac Arrest Amid Ongoing Suspicion

A detailed examination of his body on Tuesday has now provided clear answers about what happened. Three pathologists who took part in the process reached the same conclusion: Dr. Obwaka died from a heart-related issue that led to cardiac arrest. His family, who were present during the examination at Lee Funeral Home, expressed satisfaction with the findings.

Family members arrived early in the morning to witness the procedure, which involved experts representing different sides. The pathologists carefully checked the body and agreed that an existing heart condition caused the problem. One expert explained that Dr. Obwaka experienced a heart event that progressed into full cardiac arrest. This information has helped ease some of the uncertainty that surrounded his death, bringing a measure of peace to those closest to him as they prepare to say their final goodbyes.

Dr. Obwaka's brother, William, spoke after the examination and noted that the family feels confident in the initial results. While they wait for additional tests on samples from the body, they plan to focus on honoring his memory and making arrangements for the burial. The service is scheduled for Friday, May 15, in Musanda village, Mumias, in Kakamega County. This moment marks a time for the family to come together and remember his contributions to medicine and the community.

The news of Dr. Obwaka's death on May 1 had raised many questions after he met with a woman in Kitengela and later collapsed. Police had collected items from the house for further testing, including food remains and other materials. However, the postmortem results point clearly to natural causes linked to his heart. This development allows the focus to shift from speculation back to celebrating the life of a respected doctor who served many patients over the years. His colleagues and patients will likely remember him for his dedication to healthcare in Kenya.
